Have you tried a light layer of Neosporin on your upper lid and brow bone area? Occasionally, when I&#39;m playing with the dogs, I&#39;ll get a scratch on my face. I use Neosporin and it heals fast. Just use a very, very light layer because you don&#39;t want it creeping down into your Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-28679392165164401472012-12-22T12:10:12.783-05:002012-12-22T12:10:12.783-05:00Hi, CG!

My mother also has another moth orchid that&#39;s about 1 year old (a Christmas gift from the same coworker last year :), on which she cut the stem after the blooms fell off, since that&#39;s what the directions said to do. However, now the stem appears to be dead, although the leaves of the plant are growing quite happily. Any chance of reviving Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328210665966835173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-423056205881332782012-12-22T11:01:55.054-05:002012-12-22T11:01:55.054-05:00Good Morning, Cg.

My grandmother is a very, very frugal woman, and she used to be (continues to be?) vehemently opposed to receiving gifts, as she doesn&#39;t want her loved ones spending any hard-earned money on her, and she probably also views receiving gifts as akin to accepting charity (and my grandmother is a very proud, self-sufficient woman!).<br /><br />I Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328210665966835173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-18707549948541314012012-12-21T16:58:26.853-05:002012-12-21T16:58:26.853-05:00Oh Biz Morris!

Then I went to Land&#39;s End at Sears. After finding some nice things, I saw there was no way to buy them without waiting in line for at least 15 minutes. Plus, the cashier was hacking with a clearly contagious cough. It was disgusting, so I left emptyhanded.

True, there are those unfortunates who can find fault with any gift, but I&#39;m sure your mom&#39;s problem stems from her health issues which affect her emotional and mental equilibrium.
